<< I need to create an md5 hash in rbase. Does anyone know of a way to do this? >>
You will need to create a UDF written in C or Delphi to do this, both languages should have libraries that you can easily wrap. (I suppose you could try to implement the algorithm in R:Base code but it would be difficult if even possible. The algorithm is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5#Algorithm). R:Base has a built-in HASH function (**not md5**) that I use for simple one-way encryption of passwords. This has been sufficient for the needs of the clients I've worked with so far. -- Larry
